Wotton House, English country house in Wotton Underwood, England.
Wotton House stands on a mound with a symmetrical stone facade, double-height windows, and a central entrance hall illuminated by a top lantern.
The Grenville family commissioned the construction between 1704 and 1714, following designs similar to the original Buckingham House in London.
John Adams, who later became the second President of the United States, recorded his visit to Wotton House in 1786 in his travel diary.
The property includes two connected lakes spanning 47 acres total, surrounded by 200 acres of landscaped grounds with temples and bridges.
After a fire in 1820, architect John Soane rebuilt the house, adding a three-story tribune and reducing the overall height of the building.
